A Word Fitly Spoken ~ Acceptance
A WORD FITLY SPOKEN
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Proverbs 25:11
I expect to pass through this world but once. Any
good thing, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow human
being let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it for I shall not pass this way
again.~Stephen Grellet
Acceptance: The act of accepting, a receiving what is
offered, with approbation, satisfaction, acquiescence; especially favorable
receptance, approval ~ Webster's Revised Dictionary
Within the busyness of our everyday lives we often overlook an important aspect
which can actually add to the quality of our lives daily. It is not found in all the
wonderful self achieving activities that fulfill our days. It will not be found in our
oasis of personal escapes. It is however, found in the simplest words spoken from
the Heart.
With all the anxieties that seem to creep in from our incredible 21st Century life
styles some of our "Kinder and Gentler Ways" have been altered. The security of
acceptance is not an assurance to most of us anymore. From the very young to the
very old and every age in between, the desire for acceptance is still longed for and
appreciated. The comfort of sincere acceptance is like pouring honey on a warm
biscuit; it just makes it all the more the better! So it is in Life when we know we are
accepted and are shown acceptance by someone else.
Perhaps today YOU can make someone else's day more acceptable! YOU can be the
one to reach out and express a sincere heartfelt acceptance to the one right next to
YOU. Be it toward your own Family member, your Friend, your Neighbor. Right
where YOU are at! Share a thoughtful moment of Heart to Heart acceptance. Out of
the blue, for no other reason than they too are a Human Being on this Great Planet
Earth with YOU. Remem-ber, some of the simplest words spoken are still the most
appreciated!
